Jake Paul Strengths & Weaknesses

This fight will be the eighth fight in Paul’s professional career after making his debut against YouTuber AnEsonGib in 2020. He would go on to beat AnEsonGib within the first minute of the fight and then go on to brutally knock out former basketball star, Nate Robinson in round two.

Given how Paul has only been fighting for three years and started at 23 years old, his weaknesses are obvious in contrast to the incredible experience of someone like Diaz.

Indeed, Paul has been in the ring with legends of combat sports like Anderson Silva and fellow prospects such as Tommy Fury. However, nothing prepares you better for a fight than fighting itself.

With this said, Paul has carefully picked opponents he knows he can beat, and his excellent knockout power is clear to see. Paul has natural athletic ability, and by dedicating himself to this craft with millions of dollars in the bank, we have seen his boxing ability get significantly better by the fight

Paul is -135 to win by KO/TKO at FanDuel, just as he has done in five of his six wins. DraftKings also haseither fighter to be knocked down at -380.

Nate Diaz Strengths & Weaknesses

Diaz made his debut in MMA in 2004 when Paul was just seven years old. 18 years later, the UFC legend would sign off with a Performance of the Night bonus after defeating Tony Ferguson via submission.

Although famous for his submission skills with his third-degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Diaz is no stranger to fighting on the feet. In fact, legendary boxer Andre Ward often used Diaz to prepare for opponents throughout his faultless 32-fight career and has claimed the MMA superstar was “hard to spar” every time.

From his fighting career, Diaz’s stunning cardiovascular endurance was on show in every bout. In fact, as a regular competitor in triathlons, the 38-year-old has arguably the best cardio supply in combat sports.

Diaz has also never been knocked out in his life, despite endless sparring sessions, street brawls and 31 professional MMA fights because his ability to take a punch is about as good as it gets. In truth, even some of the hardest hitters like Conor McGregor couldn’t even knock him out across two fights together.

Given Diaz’s exceptional cardio and miraculous chin, betting on Diaz to take Paul all the way to a decision and win is +750 at Caesars.

Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz Best Bets

While most of the Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz predictions edge towards a knockout win for Paul, we have to take note of the incredible fighting experience, endurance and punch-taking ability of Diaz.

With this said, here are our Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz best bets.

Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz Best Bet No. 1

This fight is expected to be frantic from the first moment. What's more, Paul has also gone on to win three of his six wins inside the first four rounds, while he also managed to knock down Anderson Silva in their fight.

This bet also takes into account a knockdown for Diaz, who managed to stun legendary MMA fighters like McGregor, Leon Edwards and also knock out Gray Maynard.

Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz Best Bet No. 2

In line with the bet above, we expect some knockdowns throughout this fight. Paul is likely to be extremely aggressive in his approach, while Diaz will no doubt throw punches in bunches as he did throughout his time in MMA.

What’s more, for the first time in his professional career, Paul will fight in a potential 10-round bout, compared to the eight rounds in his past five battles, giving a chance of 1.5 knockdowns for either fighter across 36 minutes.

Paul’s knockout power is also the main talking point of this fight, and he is favored to get the knockout.

Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz Best Bet No. 3

Paul has managed to win via KO/TKO in four of his six wins, knocking out Nate Robinson, Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren in stunning style.

The first few rounds of the fight will be hectic, but the longer the fight goes on, the more Diaz’s cardio takes action, while Paul will aim to work out the MMA star’s tactics.

Paul has also gone the full eight rounds with Anderson Silva and Tommy Fury in his past two fights, while beating Woodley in the sixth, meaning he has entered the final few rounds in all of his past three fights.

After dedicating the past four years of his life to boxing, Paul and his natural athletic pedigree has developed incredible knockout capabilities. He is also expected to weigh in on the night close to 200 lbs, given how the fight is a 185 lbs fight on the scales, so the YouTuber is likely going to come in heavier while also being taller than Diaz.

At the same time, the footage from Diaz’s training camp doesn’t look too impressive. At 38 and following a lifelong career in MMA, the Stockton native looks weaker and slower than he once did.

If you also take a look back across Diaz’s MMA fights, you’ll notice he has blood pouring from his face in most of them. Ultimately, he gets hit quite a lot, and if it wasn’t for his stunning ability to take a punch, he would have probably been knocked out plenty of times in his career.

Other Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz picks to note are Paul to win via KO/TKO at -135 and a knockdown in any of rounds 1, 2, 3 or 4 at +230, both with FanDuel
